This evening we had a special event that was open to non-members - a lovely 2 course meal followed by an interesting, entertaining and thought-provoking  talk from the expert Professor Lawrence Sherman on the Topic of 'More Policing, less Prisons = less crime ?'. 

 If you would like to come along please contact a member and get booked in !   Members - bring a friend !

Professor Sherman is an american criminologist and founder of "evidence-based policing”, currently Director of the Cambridge Institute of Criminology and the new College of Policing.

Come and learn a bit more about the international community support organisation - Rotary - and in particular the very active Cambridge South Rotary Club and all its many projects and activities.

The Club was delighted with the response to this special meeting co-ordinated by our Membership Team.  We had 35 visitors and lots of opportunity to chat through our extensive display of photos showing our members involved in last year's recent projects.  President Duncan opened the event with a warm welcome for everyone and a brief summary of Rotary International and the general ethos and motivation of this community support organistion of over 1.2 million volunteers from around the world.
